Also, still reading through....


It's funny seeing you New Yorkers complaining about the prices roads and public transportation up there. You guys have one of the best public transportation systems I've ever seen. shit will get you nearly anywhere you need to be.
I complained about the price of the bridge tolls, not public transportation. I'm completely happy with public transit, I just don't want to pay $13 to cross a bridge. If you lived here, you would understand. I go to school in Jersey and I used to live in Brooklyn so I have family there and on Long Island. It's a huge cost to add to daily living.

The money isn't all going to that...

And its completely evident if you see/drive over the bridges a few times a week.

And I know it's easy to make fun of Staten Island, but those bridges are the only way off the island. I have pay astronomical tolls to leave home. The ferry is free but that's just to the city. I love living here but its frustrating. I get that the Verrezano might need a high toll...but our three Jersey bridges are NOT that highly traveled, especially the Bayonne. None of our bridges are the George Washington (which was the main reason for the toll hikes, to rebuild it). By 2015, tolls go up to $15.

My GPS diverted me there because the 95 traffic was so bad once and I'd never heard of it. I thought it was a mirage. And it took me forever to figure out what it was so I could take it intentionally. Haha.

Hahahaha it seemed like a mirage to me the first time I took it too. That road is the best.

Are these trampoline gymnasts all smiling when they come off because they're happy with their routines or because trampolines are fun?

Trampolines are always fun. Same reason why you never see an upset porn actor at the end of a scene. Sex is the most fun you can have without laughing.

Maybe because they know they're in the Olympics for doing something as ridiculous as jumping on a trampoline.
